Hot Jupiters: Origins, Structure, Atmospheres

Jonathan J. Fortney, Rebekah I. Dawson, Thaddeus D. Komacek

We provide a brief review of many aspects of the planetary physics of hot Jupiters. Our aim is to cover most of the major areas of current study while providing the reader with add…

Probing the capability of future direct imaging missions to spectrally constrain the frequency of Earth-like planets

Jade H. Checlair, Geronimo L. Villanueva, Benjamin P. C. Hayworth +6

A critical question in astrobiology is whether exoEarth candidates (EECs) are Earth-like, in that they originate life that progressively oxygenates their atmospheres similarly to E…

Non-detection of O/O informs frequency of Earth-like planets with LUVOIR but not HabEx

Jade H. Checlair, Benjamin P. C. Hayworth, Stephanie L. Olson +5

A critical question in the search for extraterrestrial life is whether exoEarths are Earth-like, in that they host life that progressively oxygenates their atmospheres roughly foll…

The Effect of Substellar Continent Size on Ocean Dynamics of Proxima Centauri b

Andrea M. Salazar, Stephanie L. Olson, Thaddeus D. Komacek +2

The potential habitability of tidally locked planets orbiting M-dwarf stars has been widely investigated in recent work, typically with a non-dynamic ocean and without continents.…

Re-inflation of warm and hot Jupiters

Thaddeus D. Komacek, Daniel P. Thorngren, Eric D. Lopez +1

Understanding the anomalous radii of many transiting hot gas giant planets is a fundamental problem of planetary science. Recent detections of re-inflated warm Jupiters orbiting po…

Clouds will likely prevent the detection of water vapor in JWST transmission spectra of terrestrial exoplanets

Thaddeus D. Komacek, Thomas J. Fauchez, Eric T. Wolf +1

We are on the verge of characterizing the atmospheres of terrestrial exoplanets in the habitable zones of M dwarf stars. Due to their large planet-to-star radius ratios and higher…
